More than 1 in 4 people in San Diego County is nutrition insecure
San Diego Hunger Coalition estimates that, as of March 2025, more than 1 in 4 (26%) San Diegans experience nutrition insecurity, or are unable to provide three, nutritious meals per day for themselves and/or their families. This marks the first time since 2020 that the nutrition insecurity rate surpassed 26%, meaning hunger has returned to pandemic levels. Children suffer most…but hunger can affect anyone. Working families, seniors on a fixed income, active duty military, veterans, homeless and college students.
Growing children are the most affected though, 1 in 5 who are considered “food insecure” are children.
The Fallbrook Food Pantry envisions a community where the pain and suffering caused by hunger do not exist. We envision a community where those in-need have access to an adequate and nutritious supply of food.
With your donation today, you will make an immediate difference in the life of a child or a senior, a family or an active military person, someone homeless or even a college student, "...because, when you are hungry, nothing else matters."
